What is is the difference between interspecific competition and intraspecific competition?
Interspecific : Interspecific competition, in ecology, is a form of competition in which individuals of different species vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space). The other form of competition is intraspecific competition, which involves organisms of the same species.Intraspecific : Intraspecific competition is a particular form of competition in which members of the same species vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food, light, nutrients, space). This can be contrasted with Interspecific competition, in which different species compete.Source(s):Google Definitions
Struggle that occurs between organisms for food water and energy when resources are limited?
The struggle that occurs between organisms for food and water and energy when resources are limited is called competition. Competition can kill animals.
Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing?
Competition between members of the species.
As a population reaches its carrying capacity there is an increase in competition for?
When carrying capacity of an area is reached, there is competition for all resources. This can include food, water, land, and air.
How can competition lead to evolution?
Evolution can exist without competition. Competition is what gives evolution a "direction"; it's what guides evolution. Note that there's no literal competition. Individuals within a population don't go out of their way to trick one another out of resources. It's simply that some of these individuals are better at gathering resources, and at surviving, and at breeding, than other individuals. Which makes that their genes are more likely to make it to the next generation than the genes of the others.
Differentiate between interspecific competition and intraspecific competition.?
Interspecific competition is the competition between two or more species of different organisms competing for the same resources. Intraspecific competition is the competition between two or more of the same species fighting for the same resources.
What is the term used to describe when animals have need for the same resources?
CompetitionCompetition among members of the same species is known as intraspecific competition, while competition between individuals of different species is known as interspecific competition.
Which Type of competition would be observed between organisms within the P caudatum culture A Interspecific B Intraspecific C There would be no competition they are of the same species?
It would be intraspecific competition if this paramecium were alone in the culture; competing for limited resources. Interspecific if some other species were in the culture. Answer C is totally out, as competition and cooperation are not dichotomies, but exist in real situations same species or not.

How does competition affect the health of organisms?
Your question is: How does competition affect organisms? Well here is the answer. Competition is a way of winning or competing in challenging situations. For organisms, if the compete the organism could get injured by depending on the way the compete. They could fight, which is a common thing for living things.
Example of interspecific competition?
Interspecific competition occurs when different species vie for the same resources in the same environment. In the desert, this competition is most visible when vying for the scarce food resources. A lizard and an eagle both hunting a rabbit would be an example of interspecies competition.
What types of resources do interspecific populations compete for?
Food, Mates, Water, and shelter
A population is growing exponentially. What can you conclude?
There is no competition for resources is the correct answer for Apex
What is a relationship in which organisms struggle with one another to obtain the material they need to live?
Competition. Either Contest or Scramble. Contest:- Involves organisms usually of the same species engaging in a physical contest to gain resources. Scramble:- All organisms in an environment trying to get as much of a resource as possible in order to survive.
What effect can a limiting resource have on a popluation?
The most common result of limiting resources is interspecific competition. Whether it be food, substrate, nutrients, sunlight, etc; limiting resources cause members of the same species and population to have uniform dispersion or possibly produce extreme territorial/agnostic behavior.
What is it called when there is a struggle between organisms in a habitat with limited resources?
Competition.If the competition occurs between individuals of the same species it is called intraspecific competition.If the competition is between individuals of different species it is called interspecific competition.
Cheetahs and lions both live in the savanna and require the same resources What type of interspecific interaction do these to species have?
mutualism
